- phendrenad2 4y agoThis is why I'm backing up everything I can from the Internet Archive (which they make exceptionally difficult due to rate limits - Seems like they cap you to about one page load every 3 seconds). I honestly believe that IA management has decided to go the route of mutually-assured destruction with the copyright holders, where they hold the wayback machine hostage to try to destroy copyright law itself.
